Textbook:
Automotive Brake Systems (Fifth edition) by James D. Halderman. This
textbook comes packaged with a worktext, and is available in the bookstore in
the Mourant building at the main campus.
Materials needed for class:



Safety glasses (required) – safety glasses will be worn at all times in the
Automotive Lab. You can purchase a set of approved UVEX safety glasses at the
campus bookstore. Note that there are two types available; regular and ones made
to go over eyeglasses.
Coveralls (optional – how dirty do you want to get?)
Personal padlock (optional) – personal lockers are available to you, but locks must
come off and the locker emptied at the end of the semester.
Note: You will NOT be required to purchase hand tools to participate in this class. All
tools will be provided for you. It is important to note, however, that you are expected to
treat the program’s hand tools with respect, and be sure to return them as you found
them. This means wiping them clean and making sure they go back in their proper
place.
Grading:
Every student needs to know exactly how they will be graded during the
course. There are four areas that make up your grade in AUTO 152:
1. 20% of your grade is determined by attendance in lab and classroom sessions.
Typically, I will assign two points per session. A student will receive one point if they
are on time for class, and one more will be assigned if they stay until the end of class.
2. 40% of your grade is determined by completion of lab assignments. Specific skills
are taught during the lab sessions of the class and you will receive credit for these by
completing the lab worksheets.
3. 40% of your grade is based on your performance on quizzes and the midterm and
final exams.
Grades will be assigned based on the following percentages:
A
AB+
B
BC+
C
CD+
D
DF
93-100%
90-92%
86-89%
83-85%
80-82%
76-79%
73-75%
70-72%
66-69%
63-65%
60-62%
60% and below
The bottom line is, you cannot do well unless you come to class consistently. Coming
late or not at all is the quickest way to put yourself in the hole.
Online Gradebook: Student grades are maintained in a secure online environment.
You can access your current grade and the scores of all assignments by going to
the course home page and entering your personal access code under
“Assignments.”
Homework: You are assigned homework for every class meeting. For instance, if the
content of meeting three was covered during one session, it is expected that you
will do the homework for that meeting and have it ready for class the following
meeting. Answer keys for the homework will be available at the course
homepage at UAS Online.
While no credit is extended for completion of the homework, your performance
on quizzes and exams will be in proportion to your effort in completing the
homework assignments!
Conduct in the lab: The Auto lab is an industrial environment and safety is the
number one priority. Having said that, horseplay is strictly forbidden in the
lab. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional, courteous
manner at all times. Many of the resources must be shared and everyone is
expected to cooperate with others as best they can.
Class evaluations: You will be given the opportunity to write your own evaluation of
this class on UAS Online during the last three weeks that we meet. This is a big
favor you are doing for me, as it helps me determine how to make the class
better. If you don’t like something that is being done, please say so, but also
make a suggestion for how to make it better.
Course drops/withdrawals: The last day to drop this class is January 31. The last day
to withdraw from this class is April 9.
Please stay in touch and let me know if you cannot make it to a particular class.
If I haven’t seen or heard from you in three weeks, I will check to see if you have
dropped. If you haven’t, I will initiate a withdrawal to prevent my having to assign
you an “F” grade.
